Apple Watch 2 Ultra (Black)

New colors and straps for Apple Watch 2 Ultra

The new black titanium finish on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the product of a special blasting procedure. Its grade 5 titanium has a carbon physical vapor deposition layer that resembles a diamond, increasing its durability and scratch resistance. Furthermore, a matching dark zirconia is used to construct the rear crystal.

With this new black finish, Apple also has updated the Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Bands to offer a black hardware option in addition to natural titanium.

The Black Milanese strap and other previous straps

Apple also introduced the new Titanium Milanese Loop band being the first metal band for the wearable which is inspired by mesh traditionally used by divers.

Designed for aquatic activities, this accessory provides lightweight comfort and elegance suitable for any event, available in both natural and black colors to complement the watch.

Constructed from the same premium titanium as the casing, the band is both lightweight and resistant to corrosion. The titanium wire is woven, flattened, laser-welded, ground, and precisely polished in a unique technique that creates exact, connecting lozenge forms that provide an elegant drape. The dual-button, parachute-style buckle is secure enough for all water activities.

Meanwhile, there's also the more luxurious Hermes version of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It has an exclusive Hermès watch face and a nautically inspired watch band, all while maintaining the toughness and functionality of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Of course, it comes with a hefty price tag as well.
